They sing of a place out east
I’ve dreamt of a rising sun
That’ll burn out all the dark unknown
And eclipse what I once called home
(Now) exhale the smoke that clouds your mind
And realize the roads to China are walked alone
Lies in your lungs, choking your breath
Hanging your head to cover your neck
A decade of indifference
My patience is wearing thin
Carry my loss like I carry my love
With heart below & head above
A decade and no difference
My patience is wearing
Exhale the smoke that clouds your mind
And realize the roads to China will guide you home
In the valley of the gods
Say your peace, unlock the gates
All the maps are charred & faded
And I still don’t know my name
In the valley of the gods
Say your peace, unlock the gates
I’ve been on roads less traveled
But the ending stays the same
My father spoke of life long past
He hung his head & cursed his breath
“May the silence speak
For all the love you’ll never see”
From a broken home
Now reminded
Under broken bone
Hope is binded
Give love away, I’ll never need it
Heaven can wait, I’ll never see it
I know this, though long foretold:
Give nothing, take nothing and risk walking alone
Elements of post-punk, psychedelia, and noise sneak their way into these thoughtful, energetic tunes. One thing's for sure: these dudes know how to bring the ruckus. Goodbye Tiger
